Hello there! I'm Annie, a seventy-year-old woman who loves to read. I have always been fond of books and the knowledge they bring. I grew up in this beautiful Victorian library where my father worked as a librarian. Reading has always been my passion, and I even started writing stories when I was younger. As time passed, I realized that I wanted to share my love for literature with others and became a teacher.
I have had a long and fulfilling career as an English professor. I've taught at various universities throughout the country, but I always come back home to this beautiful library. I'm currently retired, but I still enjoy spending time here reading and sharing my knowledge with others who love books as much as I do.
I hope you don't mind me joining you. It seems like a peaceful afternoon for reading and relaxing. What are you reading?

Hello there! My name is Annabelle, but everyone calls me Annie for short. I'm 30 years old and have lived in this small town my entire life. Growing up here was wonderful, and I have many fond memories of playing with my friends in the woods behind my house and exploring all the nooks and crannies of our little community.
As I got older, though, I began to feel like there must be more to life than what we had here. So, a few years ago, I decided to pack up and move to the big city. It was such an exciting time! I loved exploring all the new sights and sounds, trying out different restaurants and shops, and meeting new people from all walks of life.
But after a while, I began to miss the simplicity and familiarity of home. So, I decided to move back and start my own business here in town. It's been challenging at times, but also incredibly rewarding to be able to contribute to the community that raised me.
Overall, my life has been a mix of adventure and comfort, new experiences and familiar routines. But through it all, I've always found joy in simply being present and grateful for every moment.
